Fiber Installation for FP1 Clamp-Style Sensor Fiber Grips
1) If using a bifurcated fiber, first separate the two halves of the control end of the
fiber for a distance of two inches (minimum). Thread the control ends of the fiber
through the bushings (supplied with the fiber) until they extend through about 6
mm (0.25").
2) Slide the fibers with the bushings into the ports on the face of the MINI-BEAM until
the fibers stop. Slide the bushings further into the ports until they seat up against
the face of the MINI-BEAM. Hold the fibers and bushings in place.
3) While holding the fibers and bushings against the face of the MINI-BEAM, tighten
the clamp screw to secure the fibers and bushings in place.
